CROP CONDITIONS GOOD
SAYS CAP!. DAVIDSON
ATLANTA, Oct. 18.—That crop
conditions in middle and south
Georgia are not gloomy or bad is
indicated by comment today from
two planters from those sections of
the state.
Former State Senator Joe Da
vidson, of Fort Valley, says in his
section cotton production will be
very far from disappointing, and
on some of’ the farms the yield will
run about a bale to every two acres.
This production, Mr. Davidson says,
w"''. rot nt any particularly heavy
expense, but resulted from last and
close working and the farmers in
that .section found this year that
frequent plowing, attachment of a
stick to the end of the single-tree,
so arranged as to knock the cotton
stalks both dislodged and destroyed
the weevils as fast as they got into
squares. This process followed
closely in each plowing—sometimes
twice a week—by picking up the
squares, kept the weevil pretty well
out of the crop.
Dr. A. H. Carter, of Alma, for
mer members of the house of rem
resentatives, while visiting the pris
on commision on business, said the
average crop condition in''bis sec
tion of the state is really better
than it has been in several years,
and some of the farmers there are
going to de oven better this year
than a bale to two acres, but those
especially well favored one.; are in
spots only.
‘POPPY LADY’ WANTS

Lfccause ft was she who first sug
gested the flower as a memorial to
the heroes of world \var and who

suggested the idea of having- a bu- |
gjar blow taps over the grave ofJ
the unknown soldier in Arlingtorr

Her suggestion is that- the war
department either designate a sol

or that congress appropriate a
fund to maintain a bugler for this;
purpose, still selected from ranks |
o4‘ the world war veterans.
Miss Michael is now at-San Fran-'

Much of Wednesday Night’s
Meeting Consumed In Dis
cussion of Situation
HARRIS TO GO IN MATTER
Will First Consult With Power
Officials Before Appealing
To State Commission
Much of the time of the Mayor
■ and Council Wednesday night was
occupied in discussing way and
means of obviating the interrup
tions of lighting service by the lo- j
cal power company.
The light committee, of which J. I
W. Harris, Jr., is chairman, was in-I
structed to go into the matter I
with the power officials at once;
and find a means of remedying the 1
situation immediately.
. It was stated today by Mr. Harris
that the council will endeavor to
arrive at a solution! with the power
officials, and if not successful, that
the matter will be carried to the
GeOigia public service commission.
"The people are absolutely out
of patience,’ said Mr. Harris, “and
’ something must be done at once by
the power company. We will not
tolerate this condition longer.”
Mr. Harris said, in answer to a
question, that under no condition
would the mayor and council con
sider any proposition from the
power company to pump city water
under present conditions. “We
can’t take any such risk,’ he said.
“Water might or might not be in
I the tower when we needed it.’’
I “We hope to find an immediate
solution for this condition,” con
tinued Mr. Harris, “but failing we
> shall carry our troubles to the
Georgia Public Service commission
and request them to force the com
pany to keep un steam or do what
. ever is necessary to give our peo
ple electricity in an uninterrupt
ed flow.”
City Engineer Wheatley re
quested R. P. Ewing, district man
ager of the Americus Lighting
Company, a statement regarding
the reasons for the suspension of
service on October 15 and 16. Mr.
Ewing wrote Mr. Wheatley as, fol
which was read before council last
“Mr. Charles Wheatley,
City Engineer, Americus, Ga.
i Dear Sir:
“In accordance with your re

lowing statements of the causes
■ of the recent interruptions of

cus.
; “The interruption on October
. 15th. from 5:00 to 6:00 F. M.,
was due to two telephone poles
of a private telephone line be
ing thrown across our 44,000 volt
transmission line at Forrester,
I Ga., by the section crew of- the
Ct’S;al of Georgia Railway.
“The dnterrupition which oc
. curred on October 16th, was
due to the explosion of an oil
switch on the Americus switch
board, through which the current
is received from Albany. This
switch was repaired and placed
„in service at 8:00 P. M.
An effort was made to oper
ate the steam plant, but-before
it could be made to operate sat
isfactorily the necessary repairs
had been made which permitted
J us to. use the hydro-electric
power.
“A force of men are at work
today inspecting and testing the
various equipment at the steam
plant, with ah idea of making
special arrangements, which will
assist us in getting this plant
in operation in a shorter length
of time. Yours very truly,

Thursday Mr. Wheatley said
that he was going “further into the
explanation of the power com
pany,” and would have a report for
the water and light committee la
ter in the day or tomorrow. It is
understood that Mr. Whgaley will
endeavor to find out why the steam
plant was not in shape to operate
satisfactorily on Oct. 15 and 16.

lor which the Shoals really are
valuable is to supply the farmers

predicts, if “Weeks' friends” get
them, is just what they won’t use
them tor They can afford, he says,
to pay all its’ worth for the prop

as to “retain the endless inillicns

Weeks thought this statement
by Ford worth a visit to President
